Coagulation of the nucleus reticularis
pontis caudalis suppresses the RPS

This animal was sacrificed 60 days after the lesion. It did not have RPS during 45 days. It had a normal EEG and behavioral arousal or SPS. It showed also periodical apparent hallucinatory states during wakefulness. After 45 days, some brief RPS reappeared. Nissl stain.
